GARDEN GAZING Many realist art forms can be found in Elmore’s Schedel Gardens By Bobby Waddle Reporter
People looking for an eye-popping experience will find it at Elmore, Ohio’s Schedel Gardens, where man-made art and natural beauty are blended together by a team of gardeners along with citizens from the surrounding communities. Several University graduates are among those who have produced artwork in the form of paintings, drawings and sculptures as part of an ongoing relationship the gardens have with the University and its School of Fine Arts. Garden events coordinator Veronica Sheets praised the “talented local artists” who have contributed to the gardens. “[The art and gardens] seem to fit in so well together,” Sheets said. School of Fine Arts professor Dennis Wojtkiewicz agreed. “The artwork helps to elevate the gardens and the gardens help to elevate the artwork,” Wojtkiewicz said. “It’s a beautiful relationship.” Wojtkiewicz, Philip Jackson, Paul LaJeunesse, Jason Lewis and Christopher Ryan are presenting the “Point of Departure: Five Contemporary Realists” exhibit at the gardens from June 6 through July 31. Lewis is a professional exhibitionist in Pennsylvania and Jackson, LaJeunesse and Ryan teach at the University of Mississippi, Western Oregon University and Hiram College. Each received their Masters of Fine Art at BGSU and had Wojtkiewicz as a teacher, influencing his decision to ask for their participation. “There’s a certain kind of precision in their work, kind of

“Collective bargaining is not a miracle solution, but it will definitely help us to listen to and understand our colleagues better,” Jackson said. In preparation for campaigning, the Faculty Association will be compiling reasons why they believe collective bargaining is beneficial. Faculty Association members will campaign this fall
by distributing flyers, posters and giving speeches in favor of collective bargaining. “We are going to do anything we can to reach the 800 plus faculty members,” Jackson said. The Faculty Association is also currently working on two

University books new dean for library Kay Flowers
By Zach Gase Reporter
The University has named Kay Flowers as its new Dean of University Libraries. A native of Houston, Flowers has spent over 30 years working for university libraries including a 20-year tenure at her alma mater Rice University, and a 12-year stint at her most recent place of employment, Idaho State University. Flowers said she was interested in Bowling Green because she has family in Ohio and was familiar with the University’s good reputation. “It’s a little bigger than ISU,” Flowers said. “The library is bigger and is better funded than ISU, so I thought there might be some opportunities that I have not been able to pursue here [in Idaho].” Flowers said that she found out about the job through an e-mail list search, and Bowling Green appeared on her mailing list. One of the main points that sold Flowers on Bowling Green,

was the University’s emphasis on the first year experience. “I feel it’s very important to give freshman a very good start in college,” Flowers said. “I was very excited to see that.” Idaho State University Library assistant Sue Roth said that working with Flowers was a great experience for her. Roth also said that Flowers’ experience working at Idaho State will make her a valuable asset to Bowling Green. Flowers will also be a great asset to the people she works with because of her leadership capabilities, Roth said. Former Vice President of Academic Affairs at Idaho State

ART IN NATURE: University graduate Manny Enriquez, puts the finishing touches on a stone sculpture known as “Flamenco Dancers.” The sculpture is located in the back of the Schedel Gardens right beside a pond. Enriquez has made two sculptures for the Gardens as well as the Metamorphasis rock in front of the McFall Building on the University’s Campus.
an eye toward the craftsmanship in realist painting that I certainly appreciate,” Wojtkiewicz said. Wojtkiewicz said that realism is based upon creating an illusion of the physical presence of the painted object, which can range from food, plants, landscapes and still-life, noting the familiarity of the objects make the exhibit accessible to a wide audience while leaving room for various interpretations. “You can appreciate the painting on other levels,”

The Undergraduate Student Government held their second summer meeting on June 21 to discuss resolutions to the Print Responsibly program and the upcoming tuition increase. Print Responsibly is a program through which the University will begin charging students per print, sometime during the 2010-11 school year. The 3.5 percent tuition increase will be the second increase in two semesters. USG voted and passed their resolution to the Print Responsibly program. The resolution encourages the University to allow students to submit work online instead of spending money by printing. Chief financial officer Sheri Stoll was also in attendance to help explain the necessity of a tuition increase.

After a brief explanation by Stoll, USG discussed a rough draft of a resolution to the tuition increase. A final draft will suggest alternative methods for raising money, as opposed to a tuition increase. Melissa Hudson Nowak, director of internal auditing, announced new parking rules and addressed USG’s concerns for limited parking next fall. Nowak has eliminated the current rule that allows officers to ticket students who pull through spots, and plans to make all lots free for anyone to park in at the same time from now on. At the closing of the meeting, a new cable company for University residence halls was discussed. Time-Warner currently holds a contract with the University until 2012. A new company might be used after the contract runs out, depending on whether students are willing to exchange the current movie channel for premium channels like HBO and Showtime.

Wojtkiewicz said. “If you have an understanding of paint, you could appreciate it as a peer.” Lewis believes that realism offers a wealth of artistic possibilities. “For me, realism is not just about making an image that looks believable,” Lewis said. “A realist artist uses all manners of artistic devices to create images that evoke the thoughts, moods or feelings they wish to convey.” One mood conveyed is appreciation for the smaller details in everyday objects, according to Jackson. He added that people often become desensitized to these objects because looking at them is routine. “Realism in general has to do with getting someone to slow down and look at what is in front of them,” Jackson said. “A painting of it is like a new experience of looking. It’s a way to get the viewer connected in another reality.” Ryan said that art students could appreciate the types of realism in the exhibit and discover the various ways that University graduates can find inspiration “in the larger world.”

“I hope all visitors … appreciate it for what it affords: five artists who ‘speak’ a similar pictorial language, but have diverse and unique stories to tell.” The gardens prove to be an ideal setting for telling the stories, with LaJeunesse citing similarities in goals of the gardeners and artists. “[This work] concerns itself with the aesthetics of structure,” LaJeunesse said. “The gardens offer the same ideas in a different physical manifestation.” The conceptual unity between the gardens and the art is intentional. Wojtkiewicz said that some of his paintings are of flowers from the gardens and cites Rodney Noble, the executive director of the gardens, in perpetuating the goal of unifying art and nature. “What he’s trying to do is create this synergistic relationship between the art of landscape, gardening and the visual arts,” Wojtkiewicz said. To do this, the gardens run several ongoing art exhibits. One notable exhibitor is fellow University graduate Manny Enriquez, who is creating a stone sculpture known as “Flamenco Dancers.” “The gardens are wonderful,” Enriquez said. “You would have to go to Cleveland or Columbus
to find gardens as manicured and as well taken as Schedel.” Enriquez, who received both his BFA in painting and MFA in sculpture from the University, is known for creating the “Who’s Up?” bronze sculpture at Fifth Third Field in Toledo and the “Metamorphosis” stone sculpture on the University’s campus. “Most art is a reflection of society,” Enriquez said. The manner in which art can present messages and reflect its surroundings leads Lewis to reflect on his experience with the University’s School of Fine Arts. “I feel that too many art schools are pushing students to be creative and forgetting to teach them about their craft,” Lewis said. “If you are using paint to communicate … anything, then paint is your language. The more you know about your language, the more articulate you are in using it.” Ryan emphasized that his experience at graduate school led him to forge strong professional and personal relationships with professors. “These relationships can endure far beyond graduation,” Ryan said. “I think this show is a prime example of what can come from the ongoing collaboration that began back in school.”
ulty members and another with non-tenure track members. The administration presented a similar argument against collective bargaining back in 1993, said Karen Craigo, director of communications for the Faculty Association. Tenure track faculty include professors and assistant professors, while non-tenure track members include lecturers. The Faculty Association began fighting for a single unit in March of 2009, when they distributed election cards for faculty members to sign. Members of the Faculty Association said they hope collective bargaining will allow the University to move away from a corporation based model of education toward a more personalized student experience. “We are really happy that we were able to get tenured and non tenure members in the same unit,” Archer said. “The faculty is
LIBRARY From Page 1 University Jonathan Lawson, who worked with Flowers for over ten years, also spoke very highly of Bowling Green’s new dean. “She was always a joy to work with,” Lawson said. “She doesn’t leave anything undone. She’s an all-around first rate dean.” TheDeanofUniversityLibraries’ responsibilities are to keep the upper-administration and the library connected, Flowers said. She said it’s the dean’s job to make sure the library is alignment with and in support of the University’s strategic plans. Flowers will start her work at Bowling Green July 12, and she is highly anticipating her arrival to Bowling Green. “I’m just looking forward to getting there and getting started,” Flowers said. “I’m looking forward to the first semester, this fall.”

ORIENTATION AND REGISTRATION

New orientation program for new students The University’s summer orientation and registration program is cut to one day, streamlining events for incoming freshmen, parents Vince Driver Reporter
The orange bags are back, signaling the start of new student orientation. Incoming freshman are learning what to expect in their first year at BGSU, and about the rich traditions cultivated over the past 100 years. Saturday marked the first day of orientation, which has seen a number of changes from previous years. New student orientation has been shrunk from two days to one in an effort to make it easier for visiting families. Orientation leader Laurence Serfozo said he thinks the format change will be helpful with an especially large freshman class. “For all them to find those two days would be really difficult. The one day format lets them get in and out, and from our end it helps us get them in and out,” Serfozo said. Orientation gives incoming freshman a chance to ask ques-
tions about college life, begin the advising process and obtain their bg1 cards. In addition, orientation leaders try to get students as excited as possible for the upcoming school year. “The 100 years celebration is probably one of our biggest focuses, we’re pretty excited about celebrating the centennial and looking forward to continuing that celebration throughout the first year,” orientation coordinator Sam Killermann said. The large freshman class and one day program are just two of the factors complicating orientation this year. The large amount of construction on campus and changes in parking are also issues, but they have proved manageable. Commuter parking lot four is being used as orientation parking this year, and assistant dean of students Andrew Alt has seen few problems. “It has worked out okay. It is close to the union which is where we have orientation,

Bars all over town offer different varieties of traditional and notso-traditional drinks Vince Driver Pulse Columnist
Craving a drink with vodka, cheese, pickle and shrimp cocktail? Stop by Howard’s on Saturday or Sunday and ask ‘Tuna’ for a Tuna Mary. Feeling like ketchup and Jagermeister? Consider therapy, and ask the bartenders at 149 North for a Ladybug to enjoy during their jazz night. The Bowling Green bar scene isn’t as busy in the summer as the rest of the year, but looking for odd signature drinks can keep the atmosphere feeling fresh. Every bar may not have a drink with cheese in it, but they do have something to offer that makes them unique. For Reverend’s Bar and Grill, those signature drinks are their sangria and mojitos. “We offer different mixed drinks that other bars don’t, like sangria and mojitos made by hand,” Reverend’s server Allie Baidel said. “We make our sangria here, and we’ve done it in all types of different flavors like mango and strawberry kiwi.” At Nate and Wally’s Fishbowl, the signature drink also shares the bar’s name. “People come for our signature drink, which is the Fish Bowl, and the live music,” Nate and Wally’s manager and bartender James Wiltson said. “It’s a couple different kinds of rum, vodka and juices.” Down the street, Brathaus features the Legal Joint, which has been served for over 30 years. A Legal Joint is a mix of vodka, rum, lime juice, orange juice and amaretto. “It was originally made here in 1979,” Brathaus bartender J.D. said. “People also stop here for our bomb specials.” At some bars, finding the signature drink may be a matter of luck. Different bartenders may be familiar with different drinks, and some may have their own strange creation, as is the case with Howard’s

‘Toy Story’ grows up with its audience The third installment of the ‘Toy Story’ franchise shows Pixar’s ability for heart-warming story-telling
mix, shake, serve
By Marisha Pietrowski Pulse Reporter
“Toy Story 3” may have been 2010’s most anticipated movie, and the quality of the movie proves exactly why the hype was warranted. Fifteen years after the original “Toy Story” and 11 after its sequel, Pixar resurrected the beloved franchise, but, arguably, they didn’t do so in order to reach a new audience. Rather, “Toy Story 3” reaches brilliance by sticking to its roots, appealing to the young adult demographic who made the franchise beloved and tell a wonderful story in the process. In the film, Woody, Buzz and company are at a crossroads in their lives. Their lifelong owner, Andy, is going off to college in a matter of days, and he must make decisions about how to deal with the material possessions in his life that he no longer needs. Due to Andy’s increased age,

the toys rarely see the light of day, and it is possible that they may go to the trash, and almost end up there on accident (by original “Toy Story” villain Sid Phillips, who is now a garbage man). However, the toys end up at the Sunnyside Daycare
center, where new toys, such as the seemingly sweet LotsO’Huggin Bear (Lotso), appear to welcome Andy’s castoffs with open arms. However, things are not what they seem at Sunnyside, and before long, Andy’s toys are abused by the infant popula-
tion of Sunnyside, while Lotso and others live a life of luxury. The toys must not only escape from Lotso’s controlling ways, but find a way to remain relevant in Andy’s life. The film’s plot is strong; it

On Nov. 17, ?uestlove and The Roots shocked the hip-hop world when they announced that they were going to retire from touring and work full-time as the house band for Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night Talk Show. This was only a few months after they released their rumored final album, “Rising Down.” It seemed like Jimmy Fallon was about to put an end to hip hop’s greatest band. “LateNightWithJimmyFallon” aired its first episode on March 2 and showcased Black Thought
(Vocals), ?uestlove (Drummer) and company. Shortly after that, ?uestlove announced on his Twitter account that The legendary Roots crew would indeed release their ninth studio
album (third album on Def Jam Records), “How I Got Over.” After several delays, “How I Got Over” finally hit the shelves. The group’s latest effort showcases a much more optimistic sound than their previous two records, which had bleak, political subject material. “How I Got Over” features the Philadelphia band’s triumph, directly influenced by the end of the Bush Administration and the election of Barack Obama. The piano driven opener, “Walk Alone” is a very different sound from the synth-driven “Rising Down.” “Dear God 2.0” features a sample from Jim
James and Monsters of Folk, and Black Thought delivers some of the most introspective lyrics of his career. In the song, Black Thought asks, “Why is the world ugly when it’s made in your image and why is living life such a fight to the finish?” The title track and first single from the album has a much different feel to it than any of their previous efforts, as Black Thought sings two verses on the songs. On “Now or Never,” Thought declares that he is “thinking of making a change, finally break-

Whether it’s wine, beer or mixed drinks, summer offers a flavorful variety of refreshments. Norman Chambers, retired BGSU Psychology professor, and Doug Bortz, the wine specialist at Walt Churchill’s Market in Perrysburg, recommended several white wines different from a typical Chardonnay. “The 2008 Domaine Menard Colombard Sauvignon ($10.99) is an affordable white that has hints of spice and pear which mingle with a peachiness on the finish,” Chambers said. “Another great buy is the 2009 Yorkville Cellars Sauvignon Blanc ($12.99),” Chambers advised. “This wine is made from organically grown grapes. It has aromas and tastes of grapefruit and citrus and pairs perfectly with fish, white meats and soft medium cheeses.” A fun deviation from white wines during the summer is a Rosé. Chambers suggested Lamberti Rosé Spumante saying, “It reminds me of the first strawberry I have in the spring; it’s fresh and gentle.” If beer appeals more to your taste buds, there’s not a shortage of unique summer beers.
Nick Kubiak, Wine and Beer Manager at The Andersons in Maumee, is excited to feature new-to-Ohio microbrew 21st Amendment. “Most craft beers are sold in bottles. 21st Amendment’s Brew Free or Die IPA ($8.99) tastes awesome and is sold in cans, which are great for boat, golf courses and travel,” Kubiak stated. Another microbrew debuting in Ohio this summer is Smuttynose Summer Weizen ($8.99). The sleek, classic ‘50s bathing beauties packaging on this six-pack will ignite conversations and the rich and crisp flavor will tantalize your palate. If Blue Moon is a summer favorite, consider trying Bell’s Oberon, a microbrew available from Memorial Day until the World Series. Available in a newly designed Salvador Dali mini-keg ($21.99), Oberon is the definition of summer beer. “Oberon is a beer that bridges people together and appeals to the masses. It’s a classic summer beer,” Kubiak said. Classics, such as margaritas, sangria and gin and tonics, are favorite summer essentials.

According to ‘Tuna’, people come to town just to sip on his special creation. “People drive from all over, from Fremont and Toledo, just to get one,” he said. While not every bar has something as wild as a Tuna Mary, some offer strength in the number of their available drinks.

TOYS From Page 4 turns a dictator-style control of dissidents into an exciting animated adventure. Old favorites of the franchise are given new life (literally – Buzz’s newfound Spanish mode is a crowdpleaser) and the audience is reminded why they loved them. New additions, even those that spell bad news for Andy’s toys, are still oddly likable (he may be somewhat evil and jaded, but who wouldn’t want an adorable strawberryscented Lotso?) Ken is one of the best newcomers in the movie, providing a hilarious foil and romantic interest to Barbie (who, with bravery and a quick wit, becomes more than just a pretty face in this movie). His true to life outfit collection and metrosexuality offer a modern touch, which helps to bring the “Toy Story” franchise into the 21st-century world of its audience who were children in the ‘90s. One of the most notable aspects about “Toy Story 3” compared to the previous two is the ways in which the storytellers perfectly weave the
life-changing adventures of the toys to that of the humans who play with them. Andy was just an ancillary character in the previous films, who served as a catalyst for bringing the toys together. However, in this movie, Andy’s character acts as a representation of the audience’s emotional attachment to the films. He’s going through life changes, growing up and trying to figure out how his past life and his past joys with his toys relates to his newfound adulthood. The movie’s bittersweet final moments allow for the audience to relate to Andy and his own experiences with growth and loss likely hit close to home for a nostalgic audience. “Toy Story 3” is funny, warm-hearted, sad and moving. It further exhibits Pixar’s abilities to mix unique characters with effective storytelling. During the first screening of the film, Friday morning at midnight at the Woodland Mall, the sold-out, mostly college-aged crowd would laugh, cheer and gasp at nearly every dramatic moment in the film. It is a treat for the now-youngadult audience who helped make the franchise what it is today.

You deserve a factual look at . . .
Israel: An Apartheid State? Is there any truth at all in this oft-repeated calumny? Only a short time ago, many universities, goaded by left-wing professors and students and their substantial Muslim student bodies, “celebrated” Israel Apartheid Week in which divestiture from, boycott of and sanctions against Israel were demanded. Is there any truth, any justification at all in this odious characterization?
What are the facts? South African Apartheid. “Apartheid,” the DutchAfricaans term for separation, was the social order of the former South Africa. It meant exactly that. The Black majority of the nation and the so-called Colored were kept strictly apart in all aspects of life. White domination over the native population was mandatory. For instance: Non-Whites had to carry a “passbook.” Passbook infringement could lead to deportation to one of the Bantu “homelands.” Blacks and Coloreds were being kept from a wide array of jobs. Black-White sex was a serious jail-time criminal offense. Hospitals and ambulances were strictly separated. Whites enjoyed free education until graduation. Not so for Blacks, whose education was strictly limited by the oppressive “Bantu Education Act.” By law, no mixed sports were allowed. Park benches, swimming pools, libraries, and movies were strictly separated. Blacks were not allowed to purchase or imbibe alcoholic drinks – etc, etc, etc. And that is only a partial and small list of the many abusive impediments that non-Whites suffered under the South African apartheid regime. Israeli Equality. To tar Israel with that kind of brush is utterly malicious. The exact opposite is the case. Not one single apartheid practice applies to Israel. Israel is by far the most racially mixed and tolerant nation in the entire Muslim Middle East. Arabs, who are about 20% of Israel’s population, enjoy, without any exception, the same rights and opportunities in all fields as their Jewish fellow citizens. The total equality of all Israelis is assured in Israel’s founding document. All non-Jews (which means primarily Muslim Arabs) have full voting rights. At present, eleven Arabs sit in Israel’s Knesset (parliament): Three Arabs are deputy speakers. Arabs are represented in Israel’s diplomatic service all over the world. Arab students may and do study in all Israeli universities. All children in Israel are entitled to subsidized education until graduation, without any restrictions based on color or religions. In short, Muslim Arabs and other non-Jews are allowed everything that Jews are allowed, everything that non-
Whites were not allowed in apartheid South Africa. But, yes, there is one difference: Jewish Israeli men are obligated to a three-year stint in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and serve in the reserve until they are 50 years old. For Arabs, this service is voluntary. Except for the Druze, hardly any Arabs volunteer to serve in the armed forces. Israel has granted permanent residence and full citizen rights to a large number of legal and illegal foreign workers and their families – from the Philippines, Eritrea, Colombia, Nigeria, and from many other countries. Nobody, of course, is forced or requested to convert to Judaism as a condition of their being allowed to stay. Israel has accepted a shipload of Vietnamese refugees who had sought asylum. No Arab country has accepted a single one of those refugees. Israel has brought in about 70,000 black Ethiopian Jews, who despite their backwardness have become fully integrated citizens of Israel. Everything that Blacks were not allowed to do in South Africa is totally open to non-Jews in Israel. The “Apartheid Wall.” Another reason for which left-wing zealots and anti-Semites like to refer to Israel as the “apartheid state” is the fence between Israel proper and the territories. This fence (which is indeed a fence and not a wall over most of its length) was constructed at great cost in order to prevent the suicidal attacks that had killed hundreds of Israelis and grievously wounded thousands more. Thankfully, this “wall” is exceptionally successful and has totally prevented any such attacks since its completion. There is little question that this separation fence is the cause of inconvenience for some of the Arab population. But it is an annoyance that they have brought about themselves. And, of course, there are walls for protection all over the world. The Chinese invented it hundreds of years ago. Our own country has a long, high, very sophisticated wall across our border with Mexico. It is a wall, not to keep out criminals who want to kill Americans, but people who want to come here only in search of a better life. To call the Israeli fence an “apartheid wall” is an expression of ignorance and of malevolence.
“To call Israel an apartheid state is an expression of ignorance, anti-Semitism, and malice.”
Israel is a light unto the nations. It has, regrettably, many enemies – all or most of the world’s Muslim nations and left-wing ideologues who mostly hate the United States and who consider Israel to be America’s cat’s-paw in the Middle East. The reality, of course, is that Israel is the exact opposite of an apartheid state. It is a country in which all residents, all citizens, enjoy the same full rights. All other countries in the Middle East are benighted theocracies, ruthless tyrannies, or mostly both. To call Israel an apartheid state is an expression of ignorance, anti-Semitism, and malice.

Admittedly, I am not a soccer fan. I would even go so far as to say I dislike soccer. Yes, it’s the world’s most popular sport. It has a rich history and a loyal fan base. And of course, the sport is played with a ball. Therein lies my dilemma. As a sports fan, I have always taken interest in a lot of mainstream (and several under-appreciated) sports, athletes and teams. I won’t give specific examples, but I will cite a certain NBA Finals match-up I’d rather have taken a bullet before enjoying. As true sports fans, we watch to appreciate. And so, I’ve been finding my television tuned to soccer matches since the World Cup started, and I’ve found myself asking the question, “Why should I care about watching Greece or Nigeria or Argentina? And why do I have to deal with all the vuvuzela noise?” The latter question has no answer. The noise is absurd. However, the former has a very distinct answer, and we should all take note. For the citizens of many countries, soccer is an identity. In America, the sport does not carry the same clout. It does, however, offer us all a lesson in appreciation and understanding of other cultures. All it takes is an open mind. On Friday, I was awoken by a phone call a lot earlier than I would have liked. (Sure, it was 10:30 a.m., but it was still too early.) After opening my computer and making the morning rounds on ESPN’s website, I remembered the U.S. soccer team was playing on television. What followed both shocked and confused me. I felt some excitement and scrambled to turn on my television. The U.S. was trailing 1-nil, and I felt an odd feeling — disappointment. The team went down 2-nil after nearly evening the score on several attempts, and I was even more upset. Was I beginning to actually care about soccer? If I was unsure before, I had no doubt by the end of the second half. I had genuinely enjoyed the match. The U.S. came back from being down 2-nil (the equivalent of being down 10 runs in the ninth inning of a baseball game) and, if not for a horrendous call in the final minutes, would have won the match. Surprisingly, I was thrilled about a comeback draw. It’s simple, really. Many of us

STAY THE COURSE: Stone Ridge Golf Club is home to both the men’s and women’s golf teams and also provides a course for community members and casual golfers to play at. The nearly 7,000 yard course offers several challenging holes and many opportunities for golfers to get better at the game.
Local golf course encourages players to step up their game By Bobby Waddle Reporter
Stone Ridge Golf Club provides a welcoming atmosphere for students and members of the surrounding community while dishing out a challenging golf experience. Located on Muirfield Drive, the semi-private golf course boasts a design by architect Arthur Hills and is built around a neighborhood community. The links-styled course is used by recreational golfers as well as the University’s golf teams. “Everyone is treated great out there, whether you walk in off the street or you’re a member,” men’s golf coach Garry Winger said. Both golf teams’ head coaches emphasized the challenge of the course as well as the quality of the service and workers in making training an enjoyable experience. “[The players] love it out there,” women’s golf coach Stephanie Young said. “A big thing for our program is that you’re only as strong as the people you surround yourself with.” Course regular Steve Keys also praised the staff. “They’re very polite and pleasant,” Keys said. “They put up with the members and guests of the club very well.” The staff itself is comprised of a sizable number of University students. Director of Golf Tony Czerniakowski said everyone on his outside service staff is a University student, and the
kitchen staff features many students as well. “The course itself ... [it’s] kept up very well, very high standards as far as our maintenance staff goes,” Czerniakowski said. According to the coaches, the course design is very similar to the courses where the golf teams compete during the season, with Young mentioning specific likeness with the MAC Championship courses. “Stone Ridge is certainly something that we have to have to make a run at the MAC championship,” Young said. Young said although the team uses various on-campus and off-campus resources, Stone Ridge provides a challenge that allows the team to improve. “There’s not one hole where you can ... let your guard down,” Young said. “You have to stay mentally focused on your game plan from the first tee to the 18th green.” Czerniakowski said the course is also a great place for golfers to improve their short game, particularly putting. He also mentioned that wind is a major challenge. “If you play from the tips [of the tees], you’re looking at a 7000 yard golf course,” Czerniakowski said. “[That’s] pretty close to what the pros play on Sunday.” Because of this, Czerniakowski believes the course is the perfect place for the University teams to play. “As far as playing a course
that is going to improve your game on a daily basis, this is a great fit for [the teams]. Community golfers also find the course to be a good challenge. Keys specifically praised the design. “They created some rolling nature to the fairways; it’s not a flat course,” Keys said. “They did a very nice job of creating some elevation changes and some elevated greens to increase the difficulty and fun playing the course.” The course is also accessible to beginners, with course professional David Gigax offering golf lessons and clinics. Gigax said that the game of golf offers networking and physical benefits for players. “Even if you ride [a cart], it’s getting outside,” Gigax said. In addition to providing resources for golfers, Stone Ridge provides other services for the community to enjoy as well, including event hosting and banquet accommodations for birthday parties, weddings and fraternity/sorority formals. In addition, the Traditions Bar and Grille restaurant offers a variety of different foods, depending on the day. “If you’re there playing golf and you need something to eat, they’ve got plenty,” Keys said. Gigax added that the restaurant’s full menu allows people to come to the course specifically for dinner, even without playing a round of golf.

Despite inexperience, Falcon football looks forward to important season By Zach Gase Reporter
The Falcon football team welcomes the challenges it faces in its second season under coach Dave Clawson. Replacing three-year starting quarterback Tyler Sheehan and Bilentnikoff Award finalist Freddie Barnes will be no easy task, but Clawson said he is excited about the challenge. Coming into his second season as coach of the Falcons, Clawson said there is a lot of positivity about challenges surrounding his team. The team hopes to build off their successful 2009 season, in which it won six of its last seven games and earned a bid to the Humanitarian Bowl. The main challenge that Clawson and his team will face in the upcoming season is lack of experience. “It’s a little challenging that we’re a much younger football team [this season],” Clawson said. “We’re going to have to adjust.” Replacing Sheehan is one of the team’s top priorities going
into next season. Matt Schilz and Kellen Pagel, both of whom were redshirted in 2009, are the early favorites in the quarterback competition, but Clawson is in no hurry to declare a starter. “We’re in not a rush to make the [tough] decision,” Clawson said. “We want to make sure whoever is our starting quarterback has earned the job.” Senior runningback and team captain Willie Geter is expected to step up and help carry the offense this season. He was voted as one of the top six runningbacks in Ohio by ohiocollegefootball.com. Geter, who rushed for 705 yards and nine touchdowns last season, hopes to see more carries and receptions this year. The team has six players who were voted onto Phil Steele’s Preseason All-Mid-American Conference teams.

Team spots. Offensive lineman Tyler Donahue, defensive lineman Chris Jones and linebacker Eugene Fells received honorable mentions. These players are expected to lead the team, which has 25 freshmen on the roster. Another challenge facing the youthful Falcons is their tough schedule. The team will start the season Sept. 4 at Troy, who went undefeated last season on their home turf. The first game at the Doyt will take place Sept. 18 against the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl champion, Marshall. The potentially most challenging, but most exciting opponent the Falcons will play this season is the maize and blue of the University of Michigan, whom the Falcons will face Sept. 25 at the Big House in Ann Arbor, Mich. Bowling Green hopes to be the second MAC team to beat the Wolverines, as Toledo was the first to pull off the upset in 2008. Coach Clawson certainly does not rule out a victory over Michigan. “We plan on preparing to win every game we play. We’re not going there just to show up,”

do not care because we just don’t. Some of us do not care because we really do not want to. Until Friday, I was in the latter group. Soccer is not something the majority of Americans care about right now, but the sport deserves a chance. Football in this country has replaced every other sport as the farand-away favorite. It’s understandable. After all, the rest of the world has their football and we have ours. No one does American football like America
does, but that does not mean we shouldn’t care about the football most of the world follows religiously. Obviously, we all have a choice to follow the World Cup or to turn a blind eye. No one is forcing us to enjoy watching soccer matches involving France or Denmark or Serbia. Frankly, I will most likely only care to tune in to the World Cup to watch the U.S. Let’s hope they advance to the next round. For the first time in my life, I wouldn’t mind seeing a little more American soccer on ESPN. Congratulations, soccer. You’ve won this match.
Cavaliers make new changes to team colors Wine and gold still around, colors slightly altered for first time since LeBron’s rookie season
These amenities help make the course a great place for the coaches to go during appropriate recruiting seasons. Young said the course is a great place for recruits to see what Bowling Green is like. “You don’t want to take a recruit somewhere where

CLEVELAND (AP) — Without knowing if LeBron James will ever wear a Cleveland jersey again, the Cavaliers have slightly changed their team colors.

OREG From Page 3 thing, to know that in two years BGSU is going to have so many more things to offer. That is really exciting and it’s going to be exciting to the new students and parents as well.” Incoming freshman Alicia Sumner and her parents have found the orientation process educational in the shortened format. “It was really helpful, the meetings today really explained what my new experience is going to be like next year,” Sumner said. Other parents have echoed the positive sentiments. “I think its been well organized, our pace has been pretty good, and we haven’t been too busy,” father of an incoming freshman Dave Sprauer said. Orientation does not just benefit the incoming students, however, as orientation leaders like Ariel Ehmer have also found the experience enriching. “The relationships I have with the staff are fantastic, we are becoming a family, and I am learning so much about Bowling Green,” orientation leader Ariel Ehmer said. Serfozo believes that the most important aspect of orientation may be the transfer of pride to a new generation of students. “We really want to show them what BGSU has to offer, the pride we have in BGSU,” Serfozo said. “We’re explaining that there’s a bright future for the university.”

University to hold centennial event for alumni By Jessica Hanna News Editor
From July 25-27, the University will be hosting the Centennial Alumni & Friends Weekend. The biannual Alumni & Friends Weekend started in 2008 as a way for alumni, families and friends to return to campus and see what has changed since graduation. “It’s vitally important for those alumni who are really proud of their alma mater,” Montique Cotton Kelly, director of Alumni Affairs, said. “Their alma mater is changing, we have a lot of things going on on campus, and some folks haven’t been back to campus in 50 years.” The Office of Alumni and Development is sponsoring various events throughout the weekend, including activities for the classes of 1960, 1970 and 1985. Saturday will kick off with a Fit for All! Fun Run/Walk, culminating in a Centennial birthday bash
offering food and entertainment, as well as a birthday cake for the University. There will also be a Falcon Flames Vow Renewal Ceremony at Prout Chapel on Saturday for couples who both attended the University and were later married. About 100 people are expected to participate. “We have a number of Falcon Flame couples, and so we thought this would be, in the Centennial year, a great way for them to celebrate their vows,” Cotton Kelly said. “Many of them, myself included, got married in Prout Chapel, so it’s kind of reminiscent of their time when they got married, but it’s also to celebrate how far they’ve come.” In addition, various workshops covering topics such as the history of the university and its future plans will be offered throughout the weekend. To register, call (419)372-2424. A complete schedule of events can be found on the BGSU Alumni and Friends website.
